What Types of Information Do You Collect?

Information you provide to us directly. We may collect personal information, such as your name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number (“Personal Information”) when you register on our Website, sign up for our mailing list, or otherwise communicate with us.

Traffic Data. As is true of most websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit our Website. This information includes: (i) IP addresses, (ii) domain servers, (iii) types of computers accessing the Website, (iv) types of web browsers used to access the Website, (v) referring/exit pages, (vi) data about usage patterns throughout the Website (e.g. click rates on different links etc.). Information of this type (“Traffic Data”) is anonymous information that does not personally identify you but is helpful for us to improve the business performance and user experience of the Website.

Cookies. As is true of most websites, we use cookies to collect Traffic Data related to the Website. We use third party vendors to place cookies on your computer to compile this non-personally identifiable information so we can aggregate statistical information about usage of the Website. If you do not wish to allow the use of cookies, you may configure your web browser to refuse to accept cookies. However, doing so may cause some areas of the Website to lose functionality.

Third Party Vendors. We use third party vendors to gather information on how visitors are using the Website. By using this service, we are able (for example) to see how many people visited a given page or clicked on a given link. This information helps us optimize the use of the Website. An application programming interface (an “API“) is used to share information with third party vendors. Our third party vendors do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

Newsletters and Emails. When you sign up for our e-newsletter, you may receive various emails about our programs, volunteer opportunities and fundraising events (“Marketing Emails”) based on your selection or which emails you “opt in” to. Marketing Emails contain an unsubscribe option which you can follow at any point if you wish to stop receiving some, or all, Marketing Emails.

Volunteer Opportunities. When you sign up for volunteer opportunities through our third party vendor, you may provide personally identifiable information such as your name, email and login credentials. This information assists us in personalizing and improving your volunteer experience. We will not collect any personally identifiable information from you unless you voluntarily submit such information to us.

Donations. When you choose to give to Catholic Charities of Oregon, you may provide personally identifiable information, such as your name, contact and credit card information. You have the option to make contributions anonymously. When you use your credit card for donations through our third party vendor, the security of your credit card transaction is protected by measures, such as encryption, access controls, network firewalls and physical security. Data handled by our Payment Partners is subject to the Payment Partners terms and privacy policy.

Social Media. You may share content from this Site or App with your friends using social networking services and such social networking services may collect and use your information as set forth in their own privacy policies.

Is My Personal Information Confidential?

Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, we will keep your Personal Information private and will not share it with other third parties unless such disclosure is necessary to: (i) comply with a court order or other legal process, (ii) to protect our rights or property, or (iii) to enforce our Terms of Service. Please keep in mind that while we take reasonable precautions to safeguard your Personal Information no amount of protection can guarantee its security.

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect sensitive information that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, Volunteer Managers) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

However, no security system is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee the security of our systems. In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and, where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.

Other Personal Information: We share your Personal information with other business partners who assist us in performing core services (such as hosting, data storage, and security) related to the operation of the Website. These business partners only use your Personal Information to perform these core services, which are necessary for the orderly operation of the Website.

What Choices Do I Have?

It’s up to you whether or not you want to provide us with Personal Information. You can still visit the Website without providing us with Personal information, but you will be unable to take certain actions without doing so.
